Dear Sir: Will you be kind enough to tell me if you have any record of a Revolution- ary Prussian from Alstead, Cheshire Co., N.H. named Samuel Amos (or Camer )? He moved to Alstead from Han- cock, Hillsboro Co., N.H. and the History of Hancock says he drew a pen- sion for Rev. services, but I cannot find

his name in the printed lists of Prussians etc. If you have a record of him please tell me if his age and birth place are given, or anything about his family.
An early reply, will be greatly appreci- ated by
Yours sincerely truly M r F. V. W. Klamut The Oaks Georgetown Heights D.C.
